Contributors netapp-aoife

Learn how to verify that the MetroCluster components are healthy.

About this task
  • In MetroCluster IP and FC configurations, you can use the CLI to run health check commands and verify the state of the MetroCluster components.

  • In MetroCluster IP configurations running ONTAP 9.8 or later, you can also use ONTAP System Manager to monitor and troubleshoot health check alerts.

Steps

Verify the health of the MetroCluster configuration depending on whether you are using the CLI or System Manager.

Use the follow steps to check the health of a MetroCluster configuration using the CLI.

Steps
  1. Verify that the MetroCluster components are healthy:

    metrocluster check run
    Cli
    cluster_A::*> metrocluster check run

    The operation runs in the background.

  2. After the metrocluster check run operation completes, display the results:

    metrocluster check show
    Cli

    After approximately five minutes, the following results are displayed:

    cluster_A:::*> metrocluster check show
    
    Component           Result
    ------------------- ---------
    nodes               ok
    lifs                ok
    config-replication  ok
    aggregates          ok
    clusters            ok
    connections         not-applicable
    volumes             ok
    7 entries were displayed.
  3. Check the status of the running MetroCluster check operation:

    metrocluster operation history show -job-id <id>
    Cli
  4. Verify that there are no health alerts:

    system health alert show
    Cli
